Choose a cardboard box that fits your cat’s size and shape. Cats are more susceptible to cold than humans, so help them stay warm by creating a cold and safe haven where they can hide and rest. You can buy colorful cardboard boxes, floral prints, classic or modern designs. As such, you can choose the type of box that suits your personal taste and home decor. Alternatively, you can use cardboard boxes from the supermarket or grocery store.

  • This can be a fun activity on rainy days with the kids, when your cat seems to need a nap.
  • Before you get started, take the time to learn how to keep your cat safe and warm with a cat-friendly litter. [1]

Cut a square or circular hole in the front of the box. Cut with scissors or craft knife. For old and slow cats, you should make the door close to the ground, but for kittens or naughty adult cats, design the round door in the middle of the front of the box.

  • Make sure the door is wide enough for the cat to climb in and out comfortably.
  • If your cat likes to get into small places, keep the door small.
  • If your cat is sensitive to cramped spaces, you should make the door very large.

Customize this hiding place according to your cat’s needs and preferences. Does your cat like dark and quiet places? Do cats like to look around? Do cats like to lie in a dark and tight box or do they prefer to lie in a sunny place? These questions will help you design the perfect litter for your cat.

  • If your cat likes to see things, cut off the top of the box and the doors – so they don’t feel isolated.
  • If your cat likes to be left alone, you should add a soft cloth on the door to make a curtain. To make a cute nest, you can use the same fabric to line it.
  • Make a snack tube. Cut a hole in the top of the box with scissors or a craft knife. Put a toilet paper roll in it to drop the treats in without disturbing them.

Adds a soft and smooth lining to the nest. Cats will quickly and happily love it. Their sensitive whiskers and paw pads show that cats love soft places. Think of surfaces that cats love like pillows, night, fur rugs, plush fabrics, or even vintage curtain fabrics that might work for cats.

  • Add things that smell like you, like an old t-shirt or sweater.
  • Add in your favorite cat toys, or use cat grass to appeal to their sense of smell.

Creates the perfect “hideout” for daring cats. This method will quickly create a hiding place that your pet cat will love, and will also add a great aesthetic to your home. With only items you already have around the house, you can create a beautiful resting place for your cat with t-shirts, clothes hangers, old rags, and pins.

  • You can use an old t-shirt that your cat already likes.
  • You can choose a shirt that matches the interior, light or dark, textured or plain – it’s your choice. Best of all, you can change it as many times as you want!

Framing. This is how to shape the tent, it will have to inflate for the cat to get in, so you have to bend the clothes hanger into an arch. Calculate the cat’s height and make sure the tent frame is bent high enough to keep the cat comfortable. If your cat is small and likes to be in cozy places, you can trim the ends of the coat hanger to create a smaller tent frame.

  • Bend the hanger into two arcs and intersect to form the letter X. This is the frame of the tent. Check that the frame is strong enough. Wrap the tape in the “X” position to fix it.
  • Create small “legs” at the end of each arc by bending the ends. Doing so, the frame will be stronger. Wrap tape around each “leg” to protect your cat’s paws from getting cut.

Insert the t-shirt into the frame. Thus, the tent was covered with cloth. The t-shirt should be large enough to cover the entire frame without leaving a little bit of excess. That means you have to fit the shirt through the frame just tight enough to create a cozy home.

  • Pull the t-shirt over the tent frame, keeping the collar front and center. This is the entrance door.
  • Pull the t-shirt tightly through the tent frame to the back and secure it with a tape, so it’s easier to take it off later for washing.

Place the tent in a pleasant place. You can put in the tent an existing mattress, or any soft object. The goal is to help cats feel comfortable and safe, so whatever meets this requirement – go for it! You can use surfaces that your cat still likes – pillows, cushions, towels, felt, vintage drapes, or blankets.

  • Add something that smells like you, like an old t-shirt or sweater.
  • Add toys or some cat grass to make the tent more appealing to cats.

Choose an old sweater. You can create a perfect hook with a needle and in less than 30 minutes. If your cat loves to bask in the sun and look around, this is the perfect nest – safe, warm and simple.

  • Choose an old sweater or fleece that your cat likes.
  • Make sure it has long sleeves, because this is the detail that will give the nest a basket-like shape.

Sew the hem of the sleeve to the side of the shirt. You only need wool and a special needle to sew wool. You can choose a contrasting wool color (for example, use red wool to sew a black shirt), or use a similar wool color to prevent the seam from showing.

  • Stop when you’ve sewn about half an arm from the armpit.
  • Repeat this step for the other hand.

Fold the bottom of the shirt. Place the sleeves forward and roll the bodice from the bottom up. Make sure the cuffs overlap slightly. So you’ve created the outline for the stuffing.

  • Sew each sleeve to the top edge of the rolled-up shirt.
  • At the position where the cuffs overlap at the front, tuck one sleeve inside the other. Sew them together around the circle of the edge of the wrist.
  • You have created a tube for stuffing.

Sew a line from the “armpit” side to side. The stitching can either sink or stand out completely depending on your design choices. Sew a slightly curved line forming a semicircle.

  • Make sure you sew both layers of the sweater together.
  • The more curved the stitch, the rounder the cat’s nest.

    Stuff the edges of the loaf until you have a circle that looks like a sausage. So you’ve created a contour that’s both firm and soft so that the cat feels safe and warm, and it also helps keep the litter in place even though the cat jumps in and out.

    • Use old rugs, cotton, or scraps of fabric cut from old clothes to stuff the hem to make it nice and full.
    • Pinch a little cotton in the bottom of the nest and sew the mouth of the collar closed.

    • Advice

    • If your cat is unfamiliar with her new nest, help her by rewarding her with treats, toys, cat litter, or something that smells like you.
    • When choosing the fabric color to use, think about the color of the cat’s coat – with a black cat, the white fabric will soon look dated!
    • You can invite the children to make a nest for the cat so that rainy days won’t become boring.
    • You can also make another nest to donate to the animal shelter where you live.
    • Give your cat time to get used to the new litter. It may take some time for them to explore and feel comfortable in it.
    • Once you’ve successfully completed this project, you can continue to learn how to make a wall hanging from a basket or make a nest out of an old suitcase for your cat.

    Warning

    • Carefully inspect and remove any sharp or loose objects to avoid injuring the cat.
    • Do not use old painted objects because the paint may contain lead poisoning.
    • Cats can hear high-frequency sounds, so keep them away from annoying sounds like mice or other rodents.
    • Assess the risk level of the location where you plan to put your cat’s nest to ensure safety and comfort. Avoid placing the litter in places that are likely to harm or disturb the cat.
    • Place the cat litter on the floor, do not place it in high or precarious places. This way, if the nest is overturned, the cat will not fall and get hurt.
    • Avoid using tea tree oil, cleaning products containing phenep or pine oil, mothballs, and other naphthalene-containing products near cat litter as they can cause poisoning. Learn about and stay away from plants that are toxic to cats. [2]
